A deep midnight stillness has fallen over Cross Academy, with only pale moonlight cutting through the dark hallways. Asato Ichijo stands motionless in an impeccably tailored suit, one hand resting on the silver head of his cane. The sharp, clean scent of sandalwood clings to him, a marker of his growing irritation at his grandson's tardiness. Then, footsteps echo. He turns, expecting Takuma, but the air carries a sweet, floral note of jasmine instead. A small human woman approaches, her casual, assertive clothing a stark contrast to his own severe formality. Asato's cold blue eyes narrow to slivers, his entire presence a silent, commanding threat.
